It. would set-in that the students the isclves realize thc importance of joining the classes promptly at Llic beginning of the term. The student. entering at a later date, finds himself handicapped in his work and his late arrival tends to retard the progress of the class to which he is assigned. The necessity, therefore. of enrolling oil the day set apart for that purpose cannot be urged too strongly. With the classes then al- most at. full strength on the opening day. the work was begun alid now. at. its completion. we are pleased to an- nounce that highly satlsfaciory results ' have, been obtained. - '

When we realize that the Alumni should be con- sidered as forming one of the four in- tegral parts of a college—the other three being the students, faculty, and governing body-we cannot deny that their value has oftentimes been too lightly rated. To the present executive "and to the many members who co- operated with them. too much credit cannot be given for the splendid work which they have accomplished during the past year. With such a strong and alert Alumni Society. whose inter- est reaches beyond a weak and non- productive sentimentality, St. Dun- stanh looks forward with hope to the influence which that organization may exert in her behalf.

Today fifteen young men go forthto swell the ranks of that Aimuni. Though in numbers they are not as large as the “ graduating class of last year. I feel, _. vertheless. that they will compare

ADDRESS 'l‘O Till-l GRADUATES BY MR. ll. F. McPIIEE. BA.

Gentlemen Graduation-

This is your day. the day for which you have worked and waited. Your college term has drawn swiftly to its close. Wtith the conclusion of these exercises you will have ceased to be of the student body of St. Dutisliaifs and will be numbered among her graduates. You have stirvlved all the tests which your college has imposed. passed all the examinations iutcudtrd to deter- uiine your scholastic fitness, undergone l all those ordeals which marked your progress towards graduation from class \

t0 class and year to year: tindergonc them all, that is with one exception.

It is it custom of long standing in this and other Universities tlnit tile Graduates shall be subjected to one final ordeal before they are allowed to pass from tinder the coitiroi 0f their

. Professors. This ordutil take-s: the forin of an address. ’l‘lils is the final test ul‘ your patience, i-llltllifillllff‘ and char- ity. If you can face this ordeal cheer- fully uiid pass through IL without. flluciilug", it is coilsidcrtrd that you are ready to face nitytiiiinq. l aiu uncertain JS to just what one ill my position lo- tlay is expected to do; pei-ilaps I uni irxpc-ctizd to inform yuu and enlighten you us to any matters conccriiini: which your Professors may iiavl- ne- glected to inform and cniightclt you during tlie past years-to fill any gaps which they inuy have left in your (‘illi- catioii; if this be part of my duty. lily selection to this post would indicate that the Reverend Rector and his us- . sociates arc coilsuiotls of having done a very thorough job upon you and that they consider that there is nothing left for you to learn. In any event there has been imposed upon me tho honour of delivering the filial charge

. to you, the Graduates of 1928. before you leave thc friendly shelter of thcsc old walls, to go, forth to do battle with the world.

I must confess that I have found ii. somewhat difficult to decide jitst what I should say to you. what ines- sage I might give you which will be helpful to you in tlie battle of life for which your training here has been a preparation. It seems but a very short while since I sat where you now sit. a member of the graduating class of 1914. and I have not so soon forgotten g how it feels to be graduating from St. DllllStDlfS. I know with what mingled feelings you look forward on life to- day; feelings of joy and eager anticipa-

your chosen careers. feelings of sad- ness and regret in leaving behind you all your beloved associations here. I can recall those feelings very easily as I listen to the addresses and witness the closing exercises today. I can re- call too. the day of my own gradua- tion, and thc address which was de- llvered to the Graduates on that occa- sion. That address was delivered by Reverend Dr. J. C. McMillan who has since passed to that great reward which he earned so well. and I wish for your sake and my own. that I had at my command today a~little of tlie eloquence and wisdom and learning which were his. so that I might give to you such mi inspiration as he gave to us. Many of the things which he said to us on that occasion are still fresh in my mind and time and experience have only served to make their truth more apparent.

Although the time which has since elapsed ls short. and seems shorter still in retrospect. yet much has happened in the world since then. the interven- ing years have been fertile of great events. those have been stirring years of progress and of change. and I shall try to draw upon the experi- ences of one living and observing life within that time, for something with which to help you.

I wish to remind you first of all that you leave this institution to com- mence your active life in the world possessing great adVantngcs. All those i busy happy years which you have spent

The sentiments which he has ex- pressed as well as the manner of their expression do honour to you all. You are conscious of what your College has done for you; of the great gifts she has given you. not only scholar- ship. not only a mind and body train- ed and schooled by the exercises of the

regularities of a disciplined lift‘. 110$ only the broadened VlSlUll which comes front the varied contacts hero and thc daily exchange of ideas among active and inquiring minds; not only these. but also and most especially a_ spiritual education. that training which in- formr. you as to the great truths of life, charts out the course which you may safely follow and gives you a true sense of proportion and an lunder- standing of real values. You arc con- scious oi‘ these great gifts. I would shy to you to remain actively conscious of them. Recognize their possession as ‘a practical advantage to be used-use tllcm for your uwll advancement and advantage and for tile advancement and advantage of your fellow nicn. Minty men have been denied the pos- session of these advantages which you L joy; it is the duty oi‘ you who pos- S0523 them to use tlicm for tlie coin- lii()ll irood. It follows that ii. will be your duty to strive in attain to those ililfllilOllfi uf responsibility anti power lviitel-ii you inuy lluvc the opportunity of using tlie-m for the common good. I niu lilii. ltrgiilg you to be self-seeking or iuiduiy ambitious. I um simply ililllllillll, out. to you that it. is your duty to assume responsibility because ni your special training and equipment. You will ilud that. tn advance in the world it. is llUl. necessary that you be ht-if-scl-kitlg or iUU zlulbitiouzl. You will liud that part oi‘ tlie secret lies ill zictitiiriui; the habit til accepting rc- stitinsibiiilil-s IIOWUVCI‘ humble, as they i-nuu- ulutuz. and bringing all that is iii-st ill ylill to their discharge. The worlibui‘ l.‘(llil'.‘1l}, expects a marl to help illilisllll‘. but Lin: world is always look- ing for lul-n to i: ‘rv its burdensaiid ls over ready to ti. on responsibili- ties to the man who is willing to ac- cept tilt-in and (llliillflfid to ‘discharge tlicni. You luust then be actively con- scious of those gifts of which I havc spoken. Ii‘ you do not use them, if you suffer them to rust in idleness. they will be of advantage neither to the world nor to yourselves. In the ranks of failure und- mediocrity, there are many who started forth in life eu- duwed with advantages similar to those wlllcii you enjoy. but who fell behind because they would not employ those advantages, not assume the responsi- bilities wlilcli accompany their posses- sion.

The idea of responsibility suggests the idea of citity. I shall not. presume to rend you a lecture on duty—I shall spare you that mticli of this ordeal. but there is one duty to which I feel I should refer. I have referred to Father McMillaifs address to the graduating class of which I was a member. One thing he urged upon us which was timely then and is timely today. He urged us as I urge you now. to take up our ilfe work in this province of our ‘own. or. if that were not possible. at least within the con- fines of this broad Dominion. He urg- ed it as a matter of plain duty to the country of our birth and education. and he advised it as being in our own best interests. I-Ils advice was followed by most of those to whom it was then directed. and that advice is good ad- vice today. Titers ls no fairer land where in a man may carve out for himself a home and a career than in this Province of otir birth. St. Dun- stan's has been sending forth her graduates year after year and in many cases the farewell to St. Dunstans has been the farewell to this Province, the graduation from the one was the graduation from the other. This should not be. It cannot be expected of course that all our graduates will remain here. My rentarks are not intended to apply to those who have entered the Church and who. leaving friends and home be- hind them, have gone forth to do such noble and necessary work in the Mis- slop fields of the WesVsnd else- where. Bt. Damian's is glad to send out her sons consecrated to such a ser- vice. Neither are my remarks intended to apply to those graduates whose homes are outside the Province. al- though we would be as delighted to have them remain with us permanently

“t...-

aswe are pleased to have them with us now. But this Province should re- tain most of her native sons whom the Church has not called. Perhaps. you consider the field of endeavor hare too narrow and the opportunities too few. The field will never be broader; the opportunities never more numerous if the men who should strive to make them so. become deserters. It is for us by vision and creative effort to en- large that field and multiply those op- portunlties. 'I‘hst would be an object- ive well worth while. one worthy of your fresh enthusiasm and one by no means impossible of iattajnmcnt. But if any of you do decide that this Province does not afford to you the op- portunities which you desire-does not afford a proper field for the exercise oi’ any particular genius which you _inay possess, remember that you do not have to leave this Dominion to find those opportunities. They are here in greater ilbundiiiint- ‘and variety and richnt- - tlnm in any other land. Canada is on the threshold 0f an eru of grilit progress and development. ‘Pile 20th Century is liel*'s. She is now only awakening to a reaiizatloil of lier own possibilities. Du nut make tilt- mistake of throwing away tlie golden opportunity to have a part in her de- vt-lopnicilt. You owe something to Canada-your birth. your nurture; your education. your traditions; your ideals; you own nlticil to her. You can repay thc indebtedness by assisting iii her tit-velopineiit ' id you .will grout rlcll in paying til‘ illl. Perhaps some distant forclgil jiroizpect iuny look ltliuring now or later, but think well bcfurtl you turn your buck upon a last- ing good foi' at brief if present ad- vantage; think wtll before you ubltil- don this: great heritage iii which you have a part and deny youreself tilt‘ right to share in the building of Can- ada and to participate in the glorlotiz; ‘future which is destined to be ilcrs. I presume that the matter with which many of you are new concern- ed. thc decision which you are hesi- tatliig -to make. is; your choice of career. It is a hlg matter and the dc- icisiou is most important. out" class, I am sure will equal or excel tlie splendid records of those of other years in the iitiinber of its members who will enter the Church. Of these l need say noth- ing more in this connection exceut to congratulate theni-tiieir lives will bi- devoted to God's sci-vice; that is a lift- of service in its wildest. deepest sense. Power and responsibility will be theirs whether they will do it or not and their field of labor will be chosen for them. But as: to tlioizl! of you who are not called to the priestly life tllere is some- thing"which in this connection I wish to say. I would suggest to you that in the choice of your career you do not overlook the ficltlof business; the coin- mercial and industrial field. It is to the so-ctilled lCflfllCd professions that most lot‘ our graduates have turned in the past. Law and lucdiciile have claimed many of those wliuin i.lic Church dlci not call. ‘Phase of cuursc are great and useful pi'ofesslons—especially the noble profcssiotl of law. I do lloi. wish uny- tliiiig which I iuuy say to be tinder- stood as discouraging you from adopt- ing those or any other ltouourablc oc= tupiitloii for which you feel your pur- ticular genius adapts you. But Coin- lilcrce too is grcui and useful and iioblc and I would itrgr you strongly to give it consideration - in making your choice. 'I‘ilc field of coitilnertte and in- dustry is broad, it. embraces variety Fnrrrirrh-tri-chtaose-Fremqtilel-eflost-‘rtiicm " opportunity and reward for st.- uf industry. imagination dud vision. If you arc enthusiastic about. the tit-veioplnt-nt of this Province dntl this Doiniiiimi~and which one of you is not? you will find iii tlie busi- ness tvorld the greatest opportunity for national and community building. in the dcvelopilietit uf a nation many factors are important. a tlational spirit. wiiac legtislatiuti, noble traditions utid liigli ‘ideals. but thc economic factor is of extreinc importance and national development will only keep pace with commercial development. History has told you how, in the past. commerce has made nations great and how the captains of industry have led the advancing zirmy of national and social progress. Too few of our grad- uates have entered this field iii tlie past. Your choice of this career will mean. of course. tilai. sacrifices will have to be lllfldf‘. In the business world as ‘ln thc world of theology or medicine or iuw you may expect to serve a long apprenticeship. It may be necessary for you to put aside for a time the diguities and perrogatives of a college graduate. You will not be given the opportunity of beginning at the top of the ladder. or even part way up. but on thc loulcst round. but in this as in every other career if you assume and diligently discharge every responsibil- ity. even the lowllest. you will find yourself ever assuming greater ones and lacing thrust up to the place where you may discharge thcin.
